All Chapters of After Eight Years, She Left Me at the Altar for Her First Love: Chapter 221 - Chapter 230

“I’ll protect Ms. Quinn,” Lucas promised seriously. “Don’t worry, Mr. Grant.”Even if Mr. Grant hadn’t said it, Lucas would have done the same.God only knew how much he regretted not driving Ivy home himself that morning.Mr. Grant trusted Lucas, so he smiled and patted him on the shoulder.“Then stay here with Ms. Quinn for now. I’ll go back to the estate and pack some clothes for you.”“Okay.”After giving Lucas a few more reminders, Mr. Grant soon left.Lucas sat down in the chair beside Ivy’s hospital bed.He did nothing else. He simply stayed there and watched over her carefully.A few times, doctors came in to check on her.Ivy’s condition was relatively stable, and there were no adverse reactions.She just hadn’t woken up yet.The doctor said it was a side effect of the concussion and that she would probably wake up sometime that night.Lucas stayed in the hospital room until evening.During that time, he unblocked Fiona’s number and sent her a text.“Did you get

“If you really want to leave him with a good impression, then mail the birth certificate to him yourself. Maybe, for the sake of this one thing, he’ll be willing to forgive some of what you did before.”Zoe softened her tone, trying to appeal to both Fiona’s emotions and her reason.After hearing her out, Fiona felt torn.If she kept the birth certificate, she would definitely have another chance to see Lucas.But if she handed it over, Lucas might never come see her again.Then again, if she kept it, would Lucas think she was threatening him again?The memory of Lucas’s cold, furious expression flashed through her mind.Just thinking about it made Fiona’s heart tremble with pain.She wanted to repair things with Lucas.She didn’t want them to keep facing each other like enemies.In the end, she reached out and handed the birth certificate over.Zoe took it quickly, afraid Fiona would change her mind if she was even a second too slow.Her best friend really could be unpredi

Meanwhile, Lucas was thrown by the way she had addressed him.Ethan?Who was Ethan? And why had she called out to him like she knew him?Could she have mistaken him for someone else?Serena quickly apologized. “I’m sorry. I lost my composure for a second. I mistook you for my brother. You’re Miles’s friend, right? We ran into each other in the elevator earlier today.”Although she hadn’t gotten a clear look at Lucas’s face in the elevator, she remembered his voice.She had always been sensitive to voices, and she was certain Lucas was the friend Miles had been with.Hearing that, Lucas finally felt sure.He hadn’t expected such a coincidence. Of all the ways to run into her, it had happened like this.He looked a little awkward. “Uh, hi, sis? I’m Lucas York.”He didn’t know her name, but since Miles called her that, following his lead seemed like the safest bet.Hearing him call her sis, something stirred in Serena that she couldn’t quite name.Surprise. Delight.And maybe

Serena gave Gina a brief explanation of what had happened that night.After hearing it, Gina fussed over her all over again. Deep down, she was already regretting it.Why had she sent Serena out for BBQ in the middle of the night?If she hadn’t done that, Serena would never have run into those thieves.Serena noticed the guilt in Gina’s eyes and quickly pulled Lucas to her side, changing the subject.“Oh, right, Grandma. This is Lucas. He’s a friend of mine and Miles’s. We happened to run into each other on the way back to the hospital, and he walked me back.”Lucas gave Gina a polite smile.“Hi, Grandma. I’m Lucas York.”Earlier, Gina had been standing too far away to see his face clearly. She had only vaguely noticed a man following behind Serena.Now that Lucas was closer, she finally got a good look at him.Her eyes widened, and she blurted out, “Ethan?”Lucas froze.Why had she mistaken him for someone else too?A faint look flashed through Serena’s eyes. She smiled a

After hearing Miles out, Serena looked doubtful.“I don’t know. Lucas didn’t seem like that kind of person to me…”“Serena, we’ve been family for years. Do you really think I’d lie to you?” Miles said, his voice low and hurt. “You spent less than one night with Lucas, and you already believe him over me?”Seeing him like that, Serena’s heart softened at once.After all, this was the younger brother she had loved and protected for so many years. Of course she trusted him more.Besides, it wasn’t worth damaging their relationship over an outsider.She reached out and gently touched his head, coaxing him in a soft voice.“Miles, that’s not what I meant. Of course I believe you.”Only then did Miles’s expression ease a little.Serena quickly changed the subject.“Didn’t you say you had something to take care of tonight? Why did you come over so late?”Originally, Miles had planned to stay at the hospital with Grandma too.But halfway through the visit, he had received a phone c
